Chapter 528: 526 Truly Worthy of Princess Yongning [2 More Chapters]

Although both rankings were 1, one was the science stream ranking, and the other was the humanities stream ranking.

Lin Huaijin was dazzled by these two enormous "1s."

He had a clear understanding of Lin Wenli’s academic performance; Lin Wenli had an extremely high talent for mathematics and physics, but his Chinese language scores were not as outstanding compared to these two subjects.

Before Ye Wanlan tutored Lin Wenli, his Chinese language scores had always hovered around 115.

In the last few mock exams at Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, Lin Wenli’s Chinese language score had improved to around 135.

Lin Huaijin hadn’t expected that Lin Wenli would be able to perform beyond his usual ability in the college entrance examination, obtaining a high score of 145.

"We still have to thank Ah Lan. Without her, Wenli’s Chinese scores wouldn’t have improved this much," Khor Peiqing said excitedly. "Although Wenli has already gone to Shenzhou University, since he has achieved such good results, we must celebrate properly."

"Of course, Ah Lan’s score is even better; this is in humanities!" Lin Huaijin exclaimed in delight. "Qinqin’s results are out too. I’ll give Woyu a call and ask. Today, oh today is a good day worth celebrating. Let’s have a family dinner!"

"Congratulations, Xiao Wan," Yan Tingfeng said softly, blinking. "Have you thought about what you want as a congratulatory gift?"

Ye Wanlan turned her head and raised her eyebrow, "Aren’t you very clear about my preferences?"

Yan Tingfeng’s expression remained unaffected, but his eyes and brows curved into a smile, "Of course, I’d still like to know more."

"Let it be on credit," Ye Wanlan said, "I’ll have to think about it properly."

"Alright," Yan Tingfeng indulged her, "anytime you want."

Meanwhile, Xie Linyuan and Hua Yingyue had finally understood the significance of this report card.

"Worthy of being Princess Yongning," Hua Yingyue clapped her hands calmly. "I suddenly remember the time when you scored full marks on the exam set by the Imperial Tutor and Minister Shen, and their shocked expressions."

That exam was far different from the current college entrance examination, encompassing the governance of various parts of Shenzhou Land Continent.

Yet, it was such a monstrous exam that Princess Yongning had scored full marks.

The reason it was full marks was because the score was capped there.

The set of solutions written by Princess Yongning were so superior to the standard answers provided by Han Yunsheng and Shen Mingshu.

So much so, that Ning Zhaozong directly took her answer sheet and distributed the strategies written within to local cities and counties.

"The Imperial Tutor often has a stern face; it’s quite scary," Xie Linyuan said. "I suppose Little Junior Sister must have suffered quite a bit during her studies."

The mention of Han Yunsheng and Shen Mingshu made Ye Wanlan’s expression darken, "My teacher..."

Hua Yingyue and Xie Linyuan exchanged glances, both comforting her, "The Imperial Tutor and Minister Shen will surely be able to return as well."

"It’s not the same." After a long period of silence, Ye Wanlan said softly, "My teacher’s soul has completely shattered. The historical retrospection I saw that belongs to him doesn’t come from antiques."

The situations of Hua Yingyue and Xie Linyuan were similar, hence they were able to return to the Shenzhou Land Continent.

"Ah Lan, our return is actually an unexpected joy," Hua Yingyue placed her hand gently on her shoulder, just like she did each time three hundred years ago. "According to the natural laws and the principles of Heaven and Earth, we should be long dead and unable to return. That would be the normal course. Don’t blame yourself."

Ye Wanlan hummed quietly in acknowledgment, "I understand."

But many times, when hope is born, it becomes impossible to accept its demise.

However, until all is definitively concluded, she would not give up.

Even if they were the natural laws and the principles of Heaven and Earth, they could still be broken.

At this very moment, elsewhere, in the Yunjing Lin Family.

Lin Qin was also looking up the college entrance examination scores, but like Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli, the scores had been obscured.

"An exam score blockade?" Lin Nanzhu read out the words and couldn’t help frowning. "What does this mean?"

When she was younger, the concept of a unified college entrance examination in Shenzhou did not exist.

And now that she held the position of an Offerant, Lin Nanzhu was even less likely to pay attention to a path leading to the hall of academic achievement like the college entrance examination.

"Third Offerant, an exam score blockade refers to those high-scoring students whose scores are hidden by the system," Steward Lin explained with a smile. "Only those in the top fifty for science and humanities streams are blocked, which proves that Miss Lin Qin did very well. All the major universities are vying for her."

"I see," Lin Nanzhu finally understood and spoke with approval. "The descendants trained by Weilan certainly possess exceptional talent."

No matter how high one scores on the college entrance examination, it does not signify achieving the highest level in Heavenly Music Method.

For the Lin Family, of course, the primary mission is still to pass on the Heavenly Music Method.

Such peerless martial arts must not be lost.

However, since Lin Qin also has such high academic achievements, it is not a bad thing.

Lin Nanzhu said, "Take my token, go to Tianyin Building, and allocate more medicinal materials for Qinqin."

"Yes, Elder Nanzhu," Steward Lin respectfully responded.

Lin Qin said indifferently, "Thank you, Elder Nanzhu."

Lin Nanzhu wasn’t angry because she knew that was just how Lin Qin was.

Lin Zhushuang became restless, her heart filled with anxiousness. She gave Lin Qin a cold glance and stood up to leave the Sacrificial Hall.

She didn’t want Ye Wanlan to enter Yunjing, but once the high school examination results were released, the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeology Center would certainly come to scout.

So, how would she eliminate Ye Wanlan?

"Why must the Supreme Elder be in such a hurry?" At this moment, a faint voice came from behind her. "Ye Wanlan may not necessarily perform well in the Shenzhou High School joint exam. Even if she is this year’s top scorer, it wouldn’t shake our foundation."

Lin Zhushuang’s body stiffened suddenly, her head remained rigid for several seconds before she slowly turned around.

Upon seeing Lin Shiyuan wearing a veil, her stiff body relaxed slightly, but her heart rose to her throat.

Lin Zhushuang said with a tense face, "Shiyuan, I don’t understand what you mean by that."

"Supreme Elder, sometimes the intentions are good, but it’s a pity that the wrong methods were used, and even more mistakenly, such an important matter was entrusted to someone incapable," Lin Shiyuan said lightly. "If you had this in mind, you should have discussed it with me beforehand, and the result would have been as you wished."

Lin Zhushuang’s expression turned somewhat awkward, and at the same time, she felt a faint anger in her heart.

She had not expected that the matter she had hidden was seen through by Lin Shiyuan.

If she had successfully made Ye Wanlan fall from grace with the cheating incident the last time, then being called out now wouldn’t be so embarrassing for Lin Zhushuang.

"Shiyuan is the Female Zhuge in the capital, with a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart," Lin Zhushuang reluctantly praised, "I indeed do not wish for Ye Wanlan to enter the capital. That wretched girl is full of tricks, and she will become a menace sooner or later."

"Then the Supreme Elder has even less to worry about," Lin Shiyuan seemed to smile, "If she comes to the capital, it will be under your watch. Killing her might be difficult, but creating obstacles for her won’t be. How hard can it be?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhushuang thought it over carefully and found it very reasonable.

She nodded slightly to Lin Shiyuan and then left.

Lin Shiyuan stood still, hands clasped behind her back.

Before long, a Hidden Guard appeared without a sound.

"Miss Shiyuan, the Supreme Elder has far too strong a hatred for those in the Jiangcheng Lin Family," the Hidden Guard said in a low voice. "If something goes wrong at a crucial moment, it could affect Miss Shiyuan’s plans."

Lin Zhushuang was indeed powerful, but sometimes she was too impulsive, which was why Lin Weilan often outdid her in overall strength.

"Mhm," Lin Shiyuan looked up into the distance, "Anyone who affects our plans, no matter who, must be removed."

She absolutely would not allow anyone to affect her grand scheme, for her years of effort and preparations to be in vain.

The only fate for those who stood in her way was death.

As for Ye Wanlan?

Lin Shiyuan appeared indifferent.

She had no conflict with Ye Wanlan, and Ye Wanlan would not touch her interests, but she would not protect her either.

Whether she lived or died, it was all up to fate.

**

On the day the high school examination results were announced, the top trending topics on various major social media platforms in Shenzhou exploded.

The results of several celebrities who had taken the exam this year were also revealed instantly.

Some were ridiculed, and some were praised.

After that, even more focus shifted to Ye Wanlan.

[What score did Ye Wanlan actually get? If it was low, she should have come out with a sob story by now. If it was high, could she hold it in without saying a word?]

[A low score also depends on how low it is. If it’s barely above the first-tier university line, she could still play the sympathy card and blame the impact of being falsely accused of cheating. But two or three hundred... any student sure of attending a key university, no matter how frazzled, couldn’t possibly score so low.]

[@Treasures of The Divine Land official, where’s the production team? We need to see Ye Wanlan’s high school examination results, otherwise, she doesn’t qualify to be a member of the academic team!]
